⁶ whoever says he ^(A)abides in him ^(B)ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

²¹ For ^(A)to this you have been called, ^(B)because Christ also suffered for you, ^(C)leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, ^(A)that you also should do just as I have done to you.

11 ^(A)Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

⁶ No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; ^(A)no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

² And ^(A)walk in love, ^(B)as Christ loved us and ^(C)gave himself up for us, a ^(D)fragrant ^(E)offering and sacrifice to God.

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and ^(A)learn from me, for I am ^(B)gentle and lowly in heart, and ^(C)you will find rest for your souls.

^4 (A)Abide ^(B)in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine; ^(C)you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^(D)bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in me ^(E)he is thrown away like a branch and withers; ^(F)and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.

^6 (A)If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and ^(B)do not practice the truth. ⁷ But ^(C)if we walk in the light, ^(D)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(E)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
